I have a 240sx model 92 and i am between those 3 coilovers. Apexi is the cheaper. Hks and Tein have the same price. Which is better for my car and why? I use my car mainly on street for drift and turning,but sometimes i go to track

p.s Sorry for my bad English. I am from Greece.

if you have to ask, then it really doesn't matter. Think about that.

Apexi exv only because I hate Tein Flex. Haven't heard anything about the HKS. The Apexi's are supposed to be pretty good.

I like the hks and apexi is good too. you should also consider JIC...many people run those and seem to be pretty satisfied

So it's like 99% street + 1% if ever track? Is your purpose to go low?

+1 for Stance... it's pretty damn good. I drove an S14 with it and was better than teins and Silk Roads... really nice dampening.

If it's mostly a daily driver and you want a comfortable ride, I'd recommend the Flexes. Even though they aren't as aggressive as the other coilovers, they are very comfortable and offer good feedback. Plus, you can go really low on them too. I'm at the point before tucking tires all around and Istill have about 1.5 inches left on the coilover.

FLEX=poopy (on my bro's R32 at least) Go Stance if you are considering coils other than the ones you listed.

I had tiens, hks and apexi before , not those particular model, but HKS hypermax II, Apexi N1 pro, and Tein he (jdm) . All top notch quality.

I would choose APexi, then Hks, then Tein based on track preference. But overall I would go with KTS. KTS is very comparable to all those and very track worthy and good for me in the street. They can be very stiff and comfy with turn on the dial.
